Roblox, under scrutiny for child safety concerns, will require users to verify their age through a selfie or an ID. They'll only be allowed to chat with others in the same age group unless they confirm they know the other person.

Age verification and ID-based measures are increasingly implemented by tech companies like Apple and Google despite risks like information breaches

Roblox will soon require facial age verification for all chat features, enforcing age-based communication groups and introducing major safety upgrades to protect younger users globally.

To enhance its safety measures, Roblox has become the "first" game platform to require age verification to participate in its in-game chat.

Roblox must also account for bad actors who try to use fake photos or pictures of another person to evade accurate age estimation. Kaufman said that the combination of video and still imaging helps prevent that. Additionally, the company will deploy fraud checks.

Roblox is stepping up its age verification system for users who want to privately message other players and implementing age-based chats so kids, teens and adults will only be able to message
